Our Trip

Ok, so I can finally blog about our recent trip out west to CA. We flew from Boston to LA, then to San Luis Obispo. Calia was a wonderful traveler. She played happily on our laps, mostly playing the the tray tables in from of us, open, close, open, close... She ate, napped, and smiled/flirted with anyone in her vicinity.

We stayed at the San Luis Bay Inn in Avila Beach. The view from our unit was incredible, ocean and mountains. We traveled all around the central coast. To Morro Bay for hiking around Montana de Oro, to San Simeon and the Hearst Castle, to Paso Robles and the Justin Vineyards, to San Luis Obispo for lunch at the Downtown Brewery and to the farmers market where they had fresh fruit and veggies, food, puppet shows and live animals, to Solvang a cute little Dutch-themed town, to Los Olivos and Firestone and Curtis Vineyards, to Santa Barbara where we met up with Suzanne and Mike Reed (Suzanne and Bruce (Kevin's dad) are cousins). We went to the Santa Barbara Mission, then had lunch on the ocean, then walked around State St (shopping district :)).

We relaxed, too...hung out by the pool, Calia swam/kicked/splashed and loved going underneath, Kevin rented a mountain bike for a day and biked around Montana de Oro, went to the Avila Beach farmers market (about 1/10 the size of the SLO market). The central coast was gorgeous..70's and sunny, plenty to do and not do. We can't wait to venture back that way.
